No. We deeply appreciate the investment of time, effort and money that it takes for everyone to come to Rochester, New York, so we ask that guests please do not get us any gifts. There will be space on a table for greeting cards and a guest book when you enter the building. YOUR PRESENCE IS THE ONLY PRESENT WE NEED!
YES. This is an indoor gathering, and we want to keep everyone safe. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING, ALL GUESTS WILL NEED TO TAKE AN AT-HOME FLU AND COVID TEST AND BE SURE IT'S NEGATIVE FOR BOTH BEFORE COMING TO THE WEDDING. THE BRIDE AND SEVERAL OF OUR GUESTS ARE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED, SO IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID OR FLU -- OR IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY SYMPTOMS THAT DAY -- PLEASE BE WITH US IN SPIRIT BUT AVOID ATTENDING THE EVENT. An FDA-approved flu/Covid test called "CorDx" is available on Amazon.com and takes only 10 minutes. You can also find FDA-approved tests that cover both flu and Covid at your local pharmacy. Please take this test on July 5th. We regret any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding!
Unfortunately, due to space constraints and the fact that ARTISANworks is chock full of works of art that could be easily broken or damaged, we must limit the guest list to ADULTS ONLY. However, infants and children under the age of 2 may attend under close supervision by their parents at all times. Please be sure to inform Mark and Jen of any children under age 2 you plan to bring and whether a high chair will be required. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for understanding!
No. Recognizing that folks' travel schedules vary widely, we are not planning anything official other than the wedding and reception at ARTISANworks on Saturday evening, July 5th, beginning promptly at 5:00pm.
There is ample parking at ARTISANworks for those who choose to drive. NOTE: DON'T USE WAZE TO NAVIGATE TO ARTISANworks, USE GOOLE MAPS. (For some reason, Waze always takes us to the wrong address miles from our venue.) Taxi cabs, Uber and Lyft are easy to get if you want to let someone else do the driving. And for those staying at the Downtown Courtyard by Marriott, they do offer a free shuttle to ARTISANworks and other locations within 3 miles of the hotel.
Semi-formal/dressy casual attire is fine. Wear comfortable shoes for dancing! :-)
